Today we are in the middle of a global pandemic - and while Australia is doing extremely well, our economy is naturally taking a hit.
Government at all levels, local state and federal have dipped into their collective money buckets and are making grants & funding visible and available.
But is it that simple?
This episode of Let's Torque! News brings you The Grants Guy - Keith Whelan, he eliminates some of the mystery around free money, and our regular panellist Craig West Director of SME Association of Australia.
If you go to: grants.smea.org.au you can find matching grants on a whole range of areas.
They cover - Brand Strategy & Customer Experience, Business Financial Review & Valuation, Strategic Business Planning and so many more. These are ideal because often these areas of business don't fit within normal grant parameters.
We asked Keith Whelan - Thegrantsguy.com.au to give us a brief history of how he became the grants guy, and exactly what he does.
Yes, he does grants. Writes them, creates them, gives advice and best of all, he has a 71% success rate! According to Keith, grants in the range of $1k-$50K don't need that much work, and you could probably do it on your own.
COVID19 has seen more grants come to light to help SMEs.
